SR Timber has reportedly got off to a flying start in 2017, with sales already up by 35% in the first quarter of the year.
The company says it is seeing strong sales of its flagship product SR Timber’s Premium Gold roofing batten and believes that its ability to fulfil orders quickly and accurately is playing a large part in its ability to supply industry demand.
It says it has also been hugely encouraged by sales of its new Panels Division, which was launched late last year.
Trading director Shaun Revill says he is delighted that SR Timber has started 2017 so promisingly and pointed to the strength, robustness and reliability of its supply chain infrastructure as the cornerstone of the company’s success.
He commented: “We are delighted with how we have started this year, and the increase is being fuelled by our ability to supply products quickly and the fact that our very experienced and passionate sales team is securing new business.
“Given everything that’s going on with Brexit, it’s easy to be fooled by some of the headlines around the pace at which the UK is building new homes – but make no mistake, there’s still a lot of activity, and we’re in the driving seat as a supplier of timber roofing batten that is fully BS5534 compliant.
“Our ability to process and deliver orders within 48 hours has been one of the reasons why we are able to attract new customers. They also like the fact that we offer the flexibility to pick and choose which products best suit the requirements of each job.
“All the feedback we’re getting from them is that they like our agility and years of experience, which means we can offer a high level of support.”
The news comes on the back of a move to new headquarters in Nottinghamshire and the launch of a new division of the business supplying engineered panels for the furniture manufacturing industry.
